Hot Sauce Wellington

Awesome atmosphere. Was recommended to try this place and so pleased we did. Staff were excellent. Lots of options for seating. Food was delicious, made for sharing. Great selection of drinks. Also had an outdoor area which I imagine would be a great spot in the Summertime. Would definitely go back again.

Excellent experience, with really different drinks, exceptional service from all the staff and the lamb was perfect, the seasoning and cooking of the meat were unique, one of the best flavor experiences I've had.

I have written this review after my third night in a row experience of eating at hot sauce. Reasons -work/tired/proximity to bed. Flash backs to the early 2000's due to the loud club music. I recommend dining here if you're on a date and wanting shmoozimg time it'd be perfect. If you're hungry, not so much. With the restaurant approximately one third full, our food took 35 minutes to arrive. If you want your pop corn chicken hot go to KFC, all our food was cold, which was correct for the salad but underwhelming for the rest of the food. The music seemed to get louder as the wait times extended. The food is amazing, really delicious. One final warning, beware of the Dyson in the disabled loos...

The splat of mayo looks like a condom. Beautiful plating of the $24 sashimi. Enjoyed the extremely salty 'jelly noodle beef' which was just a depressed japchae. The popcorn chicken was crisped to soggy, sugary perfection. The garden salad was just romaine with supermarket sushi seaweed on top. Lovely! We went on a first table...but I wouldn't go back, even if it was half off!

Lovely place, great ambiance and nice staff, but the food is a bit disappointing and it’s a bit pricey for some. I know it’s offering Asian fusion but in my mind, fusion will give us modified cuisine with tasty flavor, not worse or bland ones. I ordered many small plates, including chicken popcorns (a little extra flavor Will be great!) fried cauliflower, salad, sashimi, and Szechuan fries (turn out to be a regular fries with mayo :( ). Then for the large plates, we tried the lamb rendang and the curry. The lamb rendang is sweet, not spicy and not rich in flavor as what rendang should be. Knowing this Indonesian signature dish very well, I was sad to know that it’s not interpreted well. I mentioned it to the staff and I hope they can relay the message to the chef 🙏. The mocktail is good though.. tried the Daiquiris and loved it. But the bottles of still and sparkling water cost us NZD 12 each … Well.. I might go back for a drink or two but not the food
